Directions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (450°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss gently until each mushroom is coated evenly with the garlic butter mixture.
- Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, caps facing up if using large mushrooms. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Avoid opening the oven while roasting to ensure the mushrooms develop a rich golden color.
- Once roasted, remove the mushrooms from the oven. If using, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with thyme leaves for added freshness and aroma.
- Serve immediately as a side dish, atop polenta, pasta, or even as a main for a light vegetarian meal.
